VERBAL OR PHYSICAL ABUSE OF SCHOOL EMPLOYEES
The board of education places trust in its employees and desires to support their actions in such a manner that employees are freed from unnecessary, spiteful, or negative criticism or complaints. Any patron, student, or other person who purposefully uses profanity in a verbal abuse or physically abuses a district employee which is involved in an assigned duty may be prosecuted by the district, to the extent provided by law. School employees who are sued as a consequence of performing their assigned duties in a manner deemed appropriate by the school administration and/or board of education, shall be given the legal support of the school district's attorney.
